1.2 Problem Statement
Server room requires constant monitoring to
enable the cooling
system running smoothly. The technician always have a problem in maintaining server temperature in idle temperature, they are also required a lot of time monitoring
while they have other work to do. Normally the technician need to standby in server room to troubleshoot the problem that cause from server room overheating. The
technician also have a problem to detect the heat in early stage that maybe cause from slightly malfunction of air conditioner or maybe the direct heat from outside
temperature. All this problem will cause the early stage of server room overheating and bring damage to the component in server room.
1.3 Objective
The objectives of the project are:
To build the system that can reduce the damage of the component in the server room from the cause of overheating. The damage or the heat can be
detected early from the setting of heat sensor in the system that installed in the server room.
To monitor in 3 stages of heat detection level 24-26°C early stage, 27-29°C middle stage, 30°C final stage. All this level can cause the damage for
component in the server room.
To help the technician easily facilitate the maintenance of the server room, by not wasting time monitoring the server room all the time.
1.4 Scope of Project
Project scope is listed as follow:
Study the principle and application of the project Investigate the problem cause from server room overheating
Identify the component that related to the system like heat sensor circuit, PIC, Relay circuit, GSM, LCD Display
Construct the flow of the project progress and set the limitation of the project
Basically, this project is divided into two main parts:
Hardware design: The hardware for system is consist 3 heat sensor that
detected 3 different temperature in the server room, it connected to relay circuit that triggered to PIC microcontroller to allow the message that can
be sent to LCD Display. In The same time it also sent the message to Hand phone through GSM Global system for Mobile Telecommunication.
Software design: This system need to be programmed to be activated. To
make the heat sensor can be detected and triggered to PIC 16F877A programmed it on MP lab software.
1.5 Project Methodology
This project focus on how to solve the problem of overheating in the server room and facilitate the technician in monitoring the server room by sending message
to hand phone and LCD display in control room, the system also using GSM technologies to send warning message to technician. The project methodology shows
the step by step to complete the project, the step that includes is planning, the
